That's the installed price of a new unit and is typical. A search in Yahoo turns
up prices of about $3,000 for a new unit uninstalled (yes, Garmin's policy is
to only sell installed units). Several outfits are also selling reconditioned
units for $2,000 to $2,300.

Perhaps CriticalMass saw one of those ads.

That's the explanation, George. I saw that ad somewhere recently and missed
the "factory reconditioned" fine print.

Thanks.

Is RDS on FM not available out there? Here in the UK,
if you're listenning to one of the national FM stations and
have an RDS radio (virtually all car radios have RDS)it will
tune to the next transmitter as its signal exceeds that of the
previous one you were tuned to.

DAB (digital audio broadcasting) will also do that, though
the receivers aren't that common at the moment.

If you need a solution to the loss of capability to listen to AM radio, I
just read an interesting article on AvWeb about satellite radio, which
eliminates the need to keep tuning new stations on the ADF when you fly
out
of range of the stations.
